Strataderm Mechanism of Action

Strataderm can be easily applied to all areas of the skin, including exposed areas like the face and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need for shaving.
When used as directed Strataderm dries to form a silicone gel sheet, a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates and protects scars from chemical and microbial invasion, allowing scars to normalize the collagen synthesis cycles, producing a normal mature scar.
Strataderm is used to soften and flatten scars, relieve the itching and discomfort as well as to reduce redness and discoloration associated with scars.
Strataderm was developed for use on all types of scars including those resulting from: general and cosmetic surgery, trauma, chronic wounds, burns, bites, acne and other diseases of the skin.
The Updated International Clinical Recommendations on Scar Management confirmed that silicone gel should be used as first line therapy in the initial management of scars and in the prevention of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
